Eliot Wolf had an interesting answer when asked about WR Ja'Lynn Polk's rookie season πŸ”—πŸ‘‡ atozsports.com/nfl/new-engl...

Eliot Wolf says things went wrong for Ja'Lynn Polk because "organizationally, we maybe put too much on his plate early, and I think that kind of stunted his growth a little bit." "He's aware of that, and we've talked about it, and he's going to continue to work hard and rehab."

Eliot Wolf on Christian Barmore: "We don't know for sure yet. The one thing we know is that he's working out in Tampa right now and that's going really well from the reports we've gotten. He's doing everything in his power. He wants to play football...

Do you anticipate spending the entire cap? Eliot Wolf: "Again, I just think we're going to do what we have to do. I think it's probably not responsible to spend the whole thing, but again, that's not to we won't do it if we feel there's a player out there."

Mike Vrabel on Tom Brady being a part-owner of the Raiders: "It can't be that hard. It's not as hard as playing... Tom will provide great input. I think it's important that he's involved in our league, and I think that's a great thing for the National Football League."

Long-term or short-term rebuild? Mike Vrabel: "I think we have to improve. I mean that's the goal. Our expectations aren't going to change. It's going to be to host home playoff games and it's going to be to compete for championships."

Mike Vrabel said that players will return to Gillette Stadium on April 7

How you do feel the team will approach free agency? Mike Vrabel: "Hopefully aggressive."

Patriots 2025 Coaching Staff HC: Mike Vrabel OC: Josh McDaniels DC Terrell Williams STC: Jeremy Springer

Now, the next question is what's going to happen with Alex Van Pelt. If he's willing to stay on, he should certainly be offered the quarterback coach position. Drake Maye loves working with him and defended him at every moment this past season.

Initial thoughts on the Patriots hiring Josh McDaniels as OC: It was the right decision. McDaniels had a lot of success in New England, and has a history of developing quarterbacks (just look at Mac Jones' rookie season). He was the favorite all along, and Vrabel got his guy
